Crisis Nursery is a nonprofit organization that provides short-term shelter for children up to the age of 12 whose families are in a crisis. The definition of crisis encompasses a variety of scenarios; such as parental stress, domestic abuse, lack of utilities, etc. The Nurse Practitioner conducts wellness checkups and sick visits for all the children that are admitted to the nursery, many of whom have not seen a physician for a long period of time due to lack of insurance or community resources. Dr. Campbell was recognized by the St Louis Crisis Nursery as their “Hugs and Kisses, Man of the Year” in 2010.
